What conditions will an astronaut find on Venus?

The dense cloudy atmosphere of the morning star that shines so brightly in our sky is made up mostly of carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide). During the Venusian day, which lasts 8,3 Earth years, its surface is illuminated only by reddish twilight light. Frequent lightning strikes from dark clouds and rains of sulfuric acid fall. The temperature during the day and at night reaches 480 °C.

The bright brilliance of the planet in the earth's sky is due to the high reflectivity of the upper layer of the Venusian clouds.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Raised mice with human cells 13.02.2019

In China, a team of scientists has grown mice that have human immune cells working inside. They took this step in order to more carefully analyze all the consequences of hepatitis B.

Up to this point, researchers have not been able to adequately model hepatitis B infection in mice, as the disease almost exclusively affects humans. However, they were able to establish that human stem cells can divide into hapatocyte-like cells, continue to live and perform liver functions even after transplantation into a mouse liver. During the experiment, hepatocytes occupied 70-80% of the liver mass.

Chinese scientists infected these humanized rodents with the hepatitis B virus. As a result, they developed special reactions very similar to those of humans. Symptoms of chronic cirrhosis and hepatitis were also observed.

In the future, with the help of humanized animals, the research team plans to further understand the pathophysiology of the virus, as well as test antiviral drugs.
